Trivia

Len Wiseman opted to shoot many of the action and effects sequences live, without computer imagery. In one scene, for instance, a werewolf seems to run more than 50 mph behind a speeding car. This was shot using an elaborate rig towed behind a vehicle, with actor Michael Sheen doing the closeups of the running and the jump onto the car, while the long shot of Lucian running was done by stuntman Todd Schneider.

Goofs

The men behind Kahn at the door to Viktor's chamber are all different men when they get into the chamber.

During the assault on the Lycan base, as Den Kahn and his men are cautiously clearing out a tunnel, Kahn is clearly holding his rifle with his right hand on the pistol grip and left hand on the fore-grip. When we see him peer down a dark tunnel, all close-ups of the rifle and tunnel show his hands being reversed with left hand on the pistol grip and right hand on the fore-grip.

When Selene is awakening Viktor his Canines are fangs just like the rest of the vampires, but through the movie both his Lateral Incisors and his Canines are fangs instead.

Quotes

Selene: Whether you like it or not, you're in the middle of a war that has been raging for the better part of a thousand years. A blood feud between vampires and lycans. Werewolves.

Kahn: [Selene is shooting rather aggressively at a statue head when Kahn walks in] I sure hope you never get pissed off at me.

Selene: Jump.

Faq

Where is Marcus?

The Elder called Marcus is currently in hibernation (thus unseen) throughout the movie. He becomes the main antagonist in Underworld: Evolution.

Does Kahn die?

Kahn's (Robbie Gee) death is ambiguous at best. While searching for Lycans, one pops up beside him and the Lycan attacks, but we don't see Kahn get killed. Soon after, there is a lot of gunfire, so it's possible Kahn was attacked but saved by his men. Seeing as how Viktor's clan was more or less dismantled by the end of the film, it's likely that Kahn, if he did survive, wouldn't feel the need to stick around.

What gun was used...?"

Fifteen different guns were used in the movie. For a description and photos of them, see here.
